·       Food bank donations via our Toonie Jar are down substantially this year to date. We are hoping to make up for this decrease in November and December..  Although prices are going up everywhere, this only makes life more difficult for those who rely on food banks.  Please consider helping us to increase donations these last two months so we can provide our usual support for this important community effort.

·       - For pastors, preachers, churches, shelters, food banks, and all others who are trying to ensure that "Christ" is in Christmas

·       - For those who are shelter-, food-, or financially insecure at this time of year when over-consumption is the order of the day, that they may receive their daily bread

·       - For those suffering with illness or injury, that they may find comfort and hope in their struggles.

·       - For those who are struggling with darkness in their heart, mind, or soul, that they may find the light of Christ pointing the way to their heavenly home!
